11th September verbal and non verbal - changes

[mystery]

Yeah, I've drilled my DC this evening - and there was nothing in the paper that they had not already tried before.

The mind boggles.... Roll on results day!

Those of you that say there were no surprises, what books and papers had you used for preparation? And had you ignored the advice on this site to avoid certain vr question types in kent?

We just used the GL papers (and I don't thing we had the 3 & 4 packs). Also the Letts multiple choice papers (VR packs of 4).

My DC really hates the code breakers where there are 4 words with only 3 number codes - and you have to work out which code goes with which word, and which word is missing a code, and what that code is.

That was in the paper - but because she really hates it, we'd practised and practised and practised.

DS has done lots of different VR practice at school but he says everything that came up in the test was covered in the IPS book and the GL pack 1 and 2 papers.

I mentioned the HIKNOS questions because DS is sure that 4 of them did turn up this year, and I'm wondering if it's the children that haven't practiced these question types that are saying there were new and unpracticed sections in this year's test.

The code breakers mentioned above are question type N so it looks like DS was right and some of the HIKNOS questions were included this year.

A real variety to be honest.
